Question to the Home Office:
What recent progress she has made with the Secretary of State for Defence on implementing the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy.
The Afghan Relocation and Assistance Policy was implemented on 1 April this year.
We are working closely with the Ministry of Defence to accelerate the relocation of locally employed staff, and their families, from Afghanistan. A charter flight carrying 117 individuals arrived safely at the end of June, with more to follow this month.
